I'm Back!

I'm back to work after two weeks of staying home following the surgery.  It was a success -- they were able to remove all of the hygroma.  The incision is about 5 inches long, curved to match  my neck lines so it won't stand out too much. It actually looks better than I had imagined - there are no apparent stitch lines! (I'm thinking maybe the stitches were done underneath.)

The anesthesiologist was sneaky!  After explaining to me that I'd be put under general anesthesia for the procedure, he gave me an oxygen mask. "It's just oxygen," he says.  I was asleep after several breaths.  And I had wanted to count down as I fell asleep, like they do in Grey's Anatomy. Haha. xD

Anyway, as of today the wound is still a bit tender, but it appears to be healing well.

In other news, I woke up this last saturday to a spinning ceiling.  I was a bit terrified so I went to the doctor (for the nth time these past two months), who told me it's positional vertigo.  Basically, certain orientations of my head will result to dizzyness, so when I turn in bed the room starts to spin.  They gave me meds for the dizzyness and some vitamins for the nerves.  Thankfully the vertigo has been lessening as the days pass. I can't wait for it to be gone!

Where did it come from?  The doctors don't know since all the tests says everything was normal.  It was probably a hereditary thing, which was stress-induced. O_o
